BU women’s hockey defeated Providence on Friday afternoon at Agganis Arena, but head coach Tara Watchorn thought her team lacked attention to detail.
In the first game of a critical weekend, BU defeated the Friars on Friday afternoon at Agganis Arena, continuing its best start to a season in a decade.
Off to its best nine-game start since 2014, the Boston University women’s hockey team is first in Hockey East and has won five straight games. Fresh off a home sweep of Syracuse University, the Terriers (6-3, 4-1 HE) are set for two games against Providence College.
